Reviews

Excellent Tour
geniegal, 13-09-2019
We had read quite a few reviews on different tours to Ayutthaya and were a little worried about a number of people saying there was not enough time at the ruins. I am glad to say, we found it plenty of time. For us, as it is for many, the humidity was a killer and we found the time spent at each place allowed us to enjoy the sites and then be back on the bus for a bit of relief. It is an early start but we were not in the pick up zone so did not have to be there until 7.15 a.m. Beware, if you are making your own way to the bus departure meeting point, allow plenty of time. The traffic was horrendous. We only just made it. All staff were extremely courteous and our guide Paishn was very knowledgeable. The only negative is that we just could not hear his commentary on the bus and could only pick out a few bits and pieces as he spoke. We were given an ice cold bottle of water as we got back on after the first stop which was appreciated The luncheon cruise was relaxing and the food was delicious with plenty of variety. The other misconception we made was in thinking the cruise came back down the river from a point after Ayutthaya and we were not the only ones. In fact, the bus took us back to the pickup point and we hopped on the cruise there. All in all, this was good value for money and we would definitely recommend.
We really loved this tour

The guide was very nice and answered to all our questions and provided an overall nice insight into the history of the places we visited She even knew architectural details of the temples. Great experience, We really loved the tour, although it was extremely hot. It was a very wonderful experience.
Ayuttaya Cutural tour
yvc129, 13-06-2019
Great tour out to Ayuttaya. Our tour guide, First was extremely informative and humorous. We had sufficient time to explore the various sites and it wasn’t rushed. The hotel pick up service worked well however we didn’t seem to have return transport to our hotel post the tour.
The cruise back to Bangkok was a pleasant way to conclude the day. The lunch served onboard was adequate- and there was variety. I would suggest you take the entree, main and desert at the same time otherwise you risk nothing being left. The food could have been hotter!
Beer onboard was reasonably priced - 2 bottles of Singh’s THB352
Great tour

The hotel pickup was on time but the tour guide although nice hardly gave us pertinent historical facts about Ayuthaya & the temples. The river cruise was nice & the food was very good.
Good tour but poor communication during organization
Krista D, 08-08-2019
We loved our tour guide, Paihsahn, and the tour itself was informative and beautiful. However, we were not pleased with the organization leading up to the tour. There was conflicting information about where to meet (if you are outside of the hotel pickup zone) and they asked us to show up at the meeting spot at 6am and then didn't leave until 7:30am. It was unnecessarily stressful and exhausting.

Our hotel was located just outside of their pick-up zone, which we knew when we booked it. However, they didn't mention this when we booked the tour and submitted our details until the day before the tour when we called them for confirmation. They told us over the phone that we would need to meet at the location *before* 6am. Our printout of the booking listed their offices as the meeting point, so that is where we arrived at 5:50am, only to find it deserted. Then we saw that they had e-mailed us a completely different location, so we took a frantic tuk tuk to the other location and arrived at 6:10. This location was also deserted and we thought we had missed the tour and frantically called their number about half a dozen times. We waited around until the tour folks showed up at 7am(!) and then our tour didn't leave until 7:30. We were pretty unhappy with that morning situation and the lack of communication.
